Building Urban Contemporary’s presence on Top 40 radio one lyrical brick at a time is Lyrica Anderson, the singer/songwriter responsible for a number of bops you may or may not have fallen in love with in recent years.

Name some?

Jennifer Hudson’s ‘Walk it Out.’

Beyonce’s ‘Jealous’

Tinashe’s ‘Pretend.’

Produced by serial hitmaker Stargate, the tune is set to join ‘2 On,’ ‘Pretend,’ and 15 other gems aboard the project’s October 7th debut.  Ready to see what else Miss T has to offer?

It’d be fair to say Universal are rocking ‘Top 40’ radio this week, watching three of their hottest releases become the Most Added cuts on the format!

These, being Nick Jonas‘ ‘Jealous’, Tove Lo’s ‘Habits’ and Nicki Minaj‘s Gold single ‘Anaconda.‘
